It's NEVER Too Early to Help Your Kids Become Bilingual

According to new research findings, babies who hear two different languages regularly while still in the womb, become better wired for becoming bilingual than their peers who only hear one language. Science Daily reports:

It may not be obvious, but hearing two languages regularly during pregnancy puts infants on the road to bilingualism by birth. According to new findings inPsychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, infants born to bilingual mothers (who spoke both languages regularly during pregnancy) exhibit different language preferences than infants born to mothers speaking only one language.
